Schism/religion

Famous quotes containing the words schism and/or religion:

    ““Summer, you are the eucharist of death;
    Partake of you and never again
    Will midnight foot it steeply into dawn,
    Dawn veer into day,
    Nor the praised schism be of year split off year....””
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
